Keto cinnamon rolls recipe relies on low-carb friendly ingredients

Cinnamon rolls are actually a wonderful low-carb dessert because they rely so heavily on the glaze for their sweetness, and cream cheese is one of keto’s best friends. When you’re not afraid of fat, the possibilities for flavorful explosions are virtually endless.

While cream cheese forms the base, the glaze’s sweetness comes primarily from SoNourished’s powdered erythritol. This is one of our favorite sweeteners: it’s the gentlest of the sugar alcohols and has zero net carbs, so it works with your low-carb diet rather than against it. It has no distracting aftertaste or confusing texture, making it nearly impossible to tell the difference between this glaze and one that’s prepared with a traditional infusion of processed sugar.

We go nuts for nuts when it comes to baking, and this recipe is no exception. The core of the dough comes from almond flour and almond milk, and this is intentional. While you could use other flour and milk replacements, these nuts have a subtle sweetness and distinct flavor that pairs incredibly well with cream cheese, creating an iconic combination that hasn’t been seen since Batman and Robin made their debut. Including butter and coconut oil adds decadent moisture that keeps your focus on the intense flavor rather than being distracted by what could otherwise be a dry, crumbly cupcake.

Simply whip these babies up, throw them in the oven, and prepare the glaze while you wait.

    Can you use heavy whipping cream instead of almond milk?

      I think it's worth a try. Shouldn't change the outcome much.

    Three times you write that the correct amount of baking soda is 1/2 teaspoon, but the recipe says 1 teaspoon. Are you able to change that?

      Yes, we stand corrected. We usually use 1/4 tsp baking soda per 1 cup almond flour. Thank you for pointing out.

    I don't see the amount of baking soda listed in the ingredients. And I really, really want to make these :). One more thing, when you say "whisk together the butter, cream cheese, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth," do you mean using the wire hand whisk and not an electric mixer? I'm not a baker so sometimes I get confused. Thank you.

      Hi, Margaret. I apologize for the mistake.
      Please use 1/2 tsp of baking soda. And you can mix those ingredients with an electric mixer.
      All the best!

      Yes, sorry, the internal calculator counted erythritol as all digestible carbs. It should now be corrected.
